Thread: I still dont understand this team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gpmack95</b></div><div>That addresses both your needs?</div></div>

at the expense of our biggest weakness, flyers need centers, and won't be trading them unless it is for a significant upgrade or to get out from the couturier contract. especially a center like frost, he is the only player on the team who can create anything from nothing. poehling just signed an extension, he's not getting moved

goaltending (shockingly) isn't a need. ersson has simply been burnt through the ground. when he gets 40+ hours rest, he has a .910, anything else he's a .885 (stats were from a few days ago so have changed, but reasoning still holds true). with a legit backup/1B (which fedotov/kolosov will be), this won't be an issue

graves is alright, but again, not a significant need given that LHD for next year are york, sanheim, seeler, zamula, andrae, and ginning. next to no need to add a middle pair dman who's signed for 5 more years given that they won't need him in 2 years time

Thread: Offseason Rossi Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Danny_MrGM_Briere</b></div><div>Is he that good? Will he be better than a middle 6 player? Laughton can play up and down the lineup and I think the sabres might want the leadership and mentality that he brings for all of the young players. A 4th rounder on top of that too. But again I could be ignorant to how good Ostlund really is because I don't know much about him.</div></div>

the only lineup versatility laughton has had this year is being able to play all 3 forward positions. he hasn't been able to play above a 3rd line level for an extended period of time other than the week before the deadline. since then he's been a 4th liner at best

ostlund has top 6 potential - low end 1st line, good 2nd liner more than likely

Thread: Kotkaniemi more
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dnoe51</b></div><div>The BIG issue with that is you can’t simply move Staal. He has a NMC. Not sure if you understand it but that means no movement without his consent. So he’s not going to waive it for teams that aren’t in the playoffs because he’s older and wants to win, so a “cap dump” isn’t possible. Also he’s 35 and will likely retire after winning a cup/or at the end of the contract. He also won’t want to leave NC if his whole family has lived here for 10ish years. I get the idea of moving on from him but it’s just not in the books.</div></div>

feel the 'they need to move staal' thinking is more that kotkaniemi and drury make more sense playing top 9 minutes over staal &amp; not that he's a player the canes don't want
